Cape Coral Gulf Access

An explanation of Cape Coral gulf access is extensively covered in the tutorial here (recommended).  You may also go to the Southwest Florida gulf access page and just select Cape Coral as your area of interest.  You may also wish to note the quick links, higher up on the right column of this page, to the most popular search categories.

Waterfront Overview, Cont’d:.

Many of the best deals on Gulf access canal homes will be found in Cape Coral. This is largely due to the volume of waterfront choices in Cape Coral versus the rest of the region (actually versus all of Florida).  Numbers-wise, there are hundreds of miles of canals in Cape Coral versus only a few miles worth on the Fort Myers side of the river.  This means that your dollar goes further in Cape Coral (also simply called ‘The Cape’) more than most anywhere else in Florida.  A more in depth look at Cape Coral waterfront is available in the Cape Coral section of the waterfront tutorial.

Gulf access canal properties are further subdivided into those with unobstructed, sailboat access and those located behind boat locks, lifts, and/or bridges.  This has has significant effects on the locations value and usability. 

If Cape Coral is of interest: You should also take into consideration the length of boating runs, learn which neighborhoods offer the direct sailboat access in Cape Coral (if of interest), gain an understanding of where the boat locks and boat lifts are located in Cape Coral as well as review where Cape Coral bridges are located and their corresponding heights.

You can also get a feel for the general pricing of waterfront property in the different areas of Southwest Florida (not limited just to Cape Coral) and get an idea of my waterfront property recommendations in Southwest Florida.  Comprehensive maps of the Cape Coral waterfront canal system are available for review too.

For buyers not so concerned about the gulf access, Cape Coral’s freshwater canals offer a more affordable option.  Some locations still offer access to a chain of small lakes for fishing and recreation. Note that our idea of what qualifies as a lake may be very different than yours!  A five acre ‘pond’ would qualify as a lake here.  Review the maps of Cape Coral to get an idea of what to expect.
